• d. metamorphic rocks
#18
Which statement is best
supported by the information
shown in the diagram?

cementing of sediments.• b. Igneous rocks form by weathering &
erosion of other rocks.
• c. Igneous rocks form by melting &
solidification of magma.• d. Sedimentary rocks

#21
Why are fossils rarely found in metamorphic or igneous
rock?• a. Decay of
radioactive isotopes changes the fossils into
a different rock structure.• b. Intense magnetic
fields found where these rocks form keep organisms from living
things.
• c. Chemicals toxic to living organisms are released during formation of these
rocks.• d. Heat & pressure
are great enough to destroy the structure of fossils found in these
rocks.

• b. marble
• c. pumice
• d. sandstone
#25
Most of the minerals found in rocks belong to a group that
contains silicon, oxygen & one or more metals. This group is called the ______________.
• a. ores• b. oxides
• c. silicates
• d. carbonates
#26
Write short answer: Explain how metamorphic
rocks turn into igneous rocks. Use appropriate vocabulary with
details, examples, & diagrams.
#27
Metamorphic rocks are created when rocks undergo heat & pressure. When metamorphic rocks melt deep in the Earth, they turn into magma. When that magma cools & solidifies under the Earth, it creates intrusive igneous rock that have large crystals. Point B on the diagram shows where intrusive igneous rock is formed. Rock created from lava that cools quickly on the surface of the Earth are called extrusive. They have very small crystals because the lava is cooled quicker. Some, like pumice, may have holes because of gases trapped inside during solidification. Point A on the diagram shows where extrusive igneous rocks form.
